Napoleon's Methods

Question A

Compare Napoleon’s preparations for the Battle of Castiglione (August 5, 1796) with the Mongol’s fight at Liegnitz (April 9, 1241). How was each plan similar and/or how was it different?

Question B

The three methods perfected by Napoleon for battlefield victory were “the central position,” “strategic battle,” and cutting the enemy off from communications and support. Do you think any of these have applications in the management of a business, marketplace competition, or in team sports?
